Job Description

Osensa Innovations develops and manufactures fiber-optic temperature and partial discharge sensors for research, medical, semiconductor and high-voltage power markets. Please refer to our website www.osensa.com for additional details.

We are looking for a Junior Mechatronics Engineer for a full-time permanent position to work at our Burnaby headquarters. The start date could be as early as Nov 1, 2025. Students graduating spring 2026 are encouraged to apply. Salary will be in the range of $60K-70K starting with a significant increase after the first year.

The focus of the job is both new product development and manufacturing engineering support. The successful candidate's primary roll will be to "do the work" necessary to design, build, and test working prototypes of new products and develop and implement high volume manufacturing processes including rapid assembly, automated testing, and quality assurance controls. You will work under the guidance of a senior engineer and have access to other experts to guide you with mechanical design, electronic troubleshooting, programming, testing, and other technical tasks. We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, creative, disciplined, knows how to learn, and has previously demonstrated initiative and talent on at least one engineering project (paid or unpaid). The successful candidate will be naturally mindful of delivering exceptional quality work, both in paying attention to every detail of design, creating thorough documentation, and optimizing all work processes for greatest efficiency.

The position will evolve based on both the aptitude of the successful candidate and the trajectory of Osensa, but the following tasks are likely to form a significant portion of the job:

- Developing opto-mechanical designs for fiber optic sensor products

- Designing jigs and fixtures involving simple optics, mechanics, electronics, and software integration

- Creating and executing test plans

- Optimizing and documenting manufacturing processes

- Coordinating manufacturing activities

- Implementing manufacturing work flows and quality systems

- Opto-mechanical assembly

- Quality assurance

The following bullet points are requirements for the position:

- B.A.Sc. degree in a relevant engineering discipline (Mechatronics, EngPhys, Electrical Engineering, etc.;

- 2025 or early 2026 graduates are encouraged to apply

- Working knowledge of Solidworks

- Strong aptitude for precision mechanical design

- Previously demonstrated talent and initiative on a relevant engineering project (paid or unpaid; applicants should describe how they meet this requirement in their covering letter)

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills

- Strong organization and documentation skills

The following bullet points are not requirements, but would be useful to Osensa, as it would allow the successful candidate to become productive more quickly:

- Experience with Python Programming language

- Understanding of precision opto-mechanical design principles

- Familiarity with ISO-9001 standards and quality assurance practices

- Familiarity with lean manufacturing and ERP systems
